PSN Downloadable extras

[ga5ket]

Where do we stand on downloadable extras (I'm thinking of LittleBigPlanet and the MGS level pack & costumes).
I see in the database that we have some Guitar Hero extras like http://www.rfgeneration.c...nfo.pl?ID=U-115-S-03970-A
Should we be including these or not?

It's a can of worms to be sure. Track Packs like the one you mention are easy to add because they are retail products on disc that don't require any other game to play. Grand Theft Auto IV expansion is also easy because it has a retail package with a voucher inside of a box. Song 3 packs however are just minor additions, no different than the dozens of cars in Forza 2 or the planes of Ace Combat 6.

I guess the general rule of thumb is, whatever a PC packs together in a package as an expansion, is a safe addition for downloadable content on a console. If there's enough content to nearly be it's own game it goes into the database. Everything else is just microtransactions.

Kinda on the same subject...what about the PSN demos, like the downloadable Ridge Racer 7 Demo?
